Once again Theloras proving how far out of his depth he is when it comes to paladins, this user does not even actively raid on nostalrius; as you can easily check, so I would advise any and all paladins to ignore him in the future as the majority of his posts now-days are inclined towards trolling.
A ret paladin using t2.5 and correct bis will have roughly 150 spell damage unbuffed
enchant at 6ppm
150x0.43%= 64.5+30 = 94.5
socom = 7ppm
weapon speed = 3.5
judgement = 1per 8 seconds
3.5 speed weapon
chance to proc = 35% proc rate
Assumed Spell Crit = 20%
over 1 minute this is on average
7 Judgements Per Minute
7 socoms
17 swings
Total attacks: 31
Average Procs per minute = 10.85
Average Proc Crits per minute = 2.17
Average Damage Per Minute = 1127.8575
DPS= 18.7
This enchant on average deals 18.7 DPS using 5/5 t2.5 (at close to 150 spell damage) as is shown above.
The most beneficial part of this enchant however was that it could crit, similar to fiery which activates vengeance.
What theoloras obviously missed was that the main function of this enchant was to roll crit for vengeance, yielding a 15% damage buff to both physical and holy, which affects White Swings, Consecration, Exorcism, Holy Wrath, SoCom, judgement and hammer of wrath leading to a far higher overall dps output.
As it is plainly evident this enchant on its own actually deals relatively low dps; when vengeance procs off its crits however it will be amazing, I would also advise paladins away from intentionally investing too deeply into spell damage purely to boost this enchants damage as you will then sacrifice crit which boosts vengeance uptime which is litterally the entire point of this enchant.( having spell damage as ret is great but stacking it only and gimping other stats is terrible, as ballance is required for optimum dps )

I have reported your post theloras for intentional slander... and intentionally feeding misinformation to paladins purely to contradict me in the paladin sub-section of the forums, I hope you will be dealt with swiftly.
